deadend qb what hap pens if i lose it where do i go from there will i ever got that job ive always dronm- ed about how many jobs cin i get with my present education lets look at the mcts youvo probably been told dozens of times that school provides you tho chance for o fuller life opens now avenues of in terest broadens your knowledge and under standing of the world makes you a better citien if youve thought about it at all you know all of this is true and important to remember howover there are also many other reasons some of which you may not have realized before why staying in school and seeking out formal training and educa tion are important to you and your basic future security by dropping out of tehee i before gradua tion you elate tha door to large areas of mploymanr only about 30 per cent of employment today consists of semi skilled or unskilled obs which require little educa tion or training each year the percentage becomes smaller most of those persons who do not prepare themselves for the ex panding career opportunities available through technical or vocational training or who leave school before graduation will probably find themselves competing for these few obs at the same time employ ment is increasing for graduates of technical vocational and academic high schools tech nical institutes trade or other occupational training and apprenticeship programs you could limit your earnings for life jhore is a direct relation between earnings and education or training even though the early dropout from school gets a head start in earning money it is estimated that by the time he reaches his top earning power he will be making 30 per cent less than the person his own age who completed high school according to the dominion bureau of statistics each year of high school adds 238 a year to your income and the mat riculation year alone adds 466 a year on this basis the value of a high school education four years over a grade school education in terms of 45 years or what might be called lifetime earnings is about 42000 and completion of your matncula- ttdn year alone increases your life s earnings by more than 20 000 this means that the capable boy who quits school before grad uation to get a job and perhaps buy a sec ond hand car will be throwing away thous ands of dollars more than enough to pur chase a fleer of new cars you could shut yourself off from train ing opportunities industrial methods and machines are becoming more and more com plex with the result that industry generally is demanding that a young person entering apprenticeship or other training positions have a good knowledge of high school sub ects including mathematics and science without these he may never get a chance to take specialized training you could find yourself in deedend employment jobs requiring little training or education are often dead end obs many persons who leave school early ill equipped to meet the needs of business and industry find themselves in jobs which have little future and limited promotion possibilities la generally true that a company or busi ness keep ifi most highlyskilled and trained employees during slack periods or when changeover to new machines and processes are taking place the unskilled and untrained workers are usually the flrs to- go bven if a skilled or welleducated man is released from work his chances of getting a fob elsewhere ate increased by the fact he has a high degree of training or education re itm ur it is true that some men and women with very little formal education and train- ing hold high positions but they arc usual ly selfeducated a process which moans great personal sacrifice ask jhoso who have gone back to school at nights or have reached the top the hard way and theyll toll you it wasnt easy and that their road wduld have boon smoother if they had had more formal education and training stones of people succeeding with litllo formal training are exciting but the hard fact remains that success in business and industry has one theme that repents itself over and over the more education and training you have thb better chance you have of getting permanent employment getting additional training and of being promoted to responsible and well paid pos itions it should be said that graduation alone does not guarantee a person will get a good ob most employers when hiring consider o persons work experience per sonality and general attitudes towards work and society as well as his training and education however there is little doubt that graduating from school or a for mal training program academic school vocational school technical institute trade schqol or apprenticeship can open new doors to a wide variety of ob opportunities fuithermore representatives o f the thousands of employers throughout canada the men from whom you ii be seeking a ob have gone on record as saying that it pays to graduate regardless of the type of work you plan to dovhen you leave school they cant all be wrong status symbol the status symbol to end all status sym bols must surely be the dream car bought by a certain bobby darin who it is said sings for a
